This is a dhcp reply (bootp). In isolation, nothing to worry about, but
when you consider the source address is private, it starts to look kind of
weird...

... and this is an odd one... broadcast to 5005... examine the output of
"netstat -ua" to see if treehouse would have responded to this, and use
"lsof -i :5005" to find out which process(es) is(are) handling that port.

Another odd one. The fact that these all have different private
source addresses is also strange.
The fact that these are not directed at your ip address in particular is a
little comforting, but someone is playing strange games.
